Mrs. Ray’s social studies students stepped back into colonial times during last week’s early release day! 🇺🇸 Assigned as either Loyalists or Patriots, teams had just 5 minutes to strategize and prepare their arguments for a lively classroom debate. It was a fun, interactive way to practice critical thinking and teamwork! 👏✨
¡Los estudiantes de estudios sociales de Mrs. Ray viajaron a la época colonial durante el día de salida temprana de la semana pasada! 🇺🇸 Divididos entre leales (Loyalists) y patriotas (Patriots), los equipos tuvieron solo 5 minutos para organizarse y preparar sus argumentos en un animado debate en clase. ¡Fue una forma divertida e interactiva de poner en práctica el pensamiento crítico y el trabajo en equipo! 👏✨

Recently in Georgia Studies, students built Wattle and Daub shelters using only the resources provided to simulate the Mississippians building shelters with limited resources. They competed with a time constraint. There was one "elite" member while the rest were "commoners" the same as Mississippian society. They all had to work together in order to be successful!
Recientemente en la clase de Estudios de Georgia, los estudiantes construyeron refugios de bahareque (wattle and daub) utilizando únicamente los recursos proporcionados, simulando cómo la cultura misisipiana construía refugios con recursos limitados. Compitieron con un límite de tiempo. Había un miembro de la "élite" mientras que los demás eran "plebeyos", tal como en la sociedad misisipiana. ¡Todos tuvieron que trabajar en equipo para tener éxito!
